Parliament House of Thailand, Legislative building in Dusit District, Thailand
Parliament House of Thailand is a government complex in Bangkok with three main buildings arranged along the Chao Phraya River. The buildings contain the meeting chambers, administrative offices, and work spaces for elected members.
The building opened in 1974 as Thailand's legislative center, replacing the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall. In 2018, the National Assembly moved to a new location in the Kiakkai area.
A statue of King Prajadhipok on his throne marks the entrance, reflecting Thailand's connection between monarchy and government. The site served for decades as where elected representatives met to shape national decisions.
The site sits along the Chao Phraya River and is accessible by Bangkok's public transport system. Check ahead before visiting, as access may vary depending on current use of the site.
The complex was returned to the Royal Household Bureau in 2019 after serving as Thailand's parliamentary center for four decades. The site represents a significant chapter in the country's recent political history.
